As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 40 years, I have ample insight on the Latter-day Saint's lifestyle & I love it!

I was baptized 10 years ago. During these 10 years, my journey has not been easy. But being baptized has made it easier. The gospel, the Church, and my membership in the Church have truly enriched my life.

At the end of July, friends of Philadelphia 76ers CEO Scott O’Neil received a text from him that simply said, “I believe.” The text was his way of informing them of his decision to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

This is a book about all of the major controversial topics that were never taught to me as a born and raised member of the LDS church. Growing up in the church, I thought I knew everything there is to know about being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I did everything that was expected of me all throughout my childhood, and even into my adult life. In 2015, I discovered many topics about church history that I was never taught at home, in seminary, or at church. These topics shocked me to the core. I went on a personal crusade researching everything I could about the history of the LDS church using LDS-approved sources as well as others that are not approved. Turns out that I couldn't disprove the so called \"anti-mormon lies\". This book is my personal journal of what I learned about LDS church history. I wish I would have been taught these things when I was young, and so now I share them with you.

In 2021, we will start a new year of Come, Follow Me in the Doctrine and Covenants. Whether your children are young or grown, make sure your family has everything you need to dive a little deeper and to learn a little more in your daily study.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is moving into a new era, one that embraces a more inclusive and diverse definition of what it means to be a member of the church.

We've had several more convert baptisms in our Ward since I last posted about our "Welcome" packets! I've been thinking about how we, as Ward members, can help investigators make the transition from being taught by the Elders to being active Ward members. Anything we can do to build a relationship prior to baptism is a positive thing. It occurred to me last week that it would probably be more effective to give these "Welcome" packets out ahead of time, instead of waiting until the actual baptism. Besides giving the person/family additional information that will help them learn more about the Church, it also gives me an excuse to make another visit to the family (especially if I haven't been one of the members/Ward missionaries attending the discussions with the Elders). I've recently updated our "Welcome to the Ward" Packets to include some new information. I remembered to take pictures before handing them out this time, so you can get a better idea of what we're doing:I'm using inexpensive (less than 30 cents each) solid-colored pee-chee-like folders that you can get at any store with a school/office supply aisle. We have two ladies being baptized this week, so I've used purple this time and I was a little more generous with the flowers/hearts than I would be for a folder I'd make specifically for a man, so consider this a "feminine" version! The "Welcome to the Ward" label is a printed on a label sticker (name-tag size) and I've added some embossed paper flowers that I made around the edges (though you could use stickers or a more decorative label). This is what the packet looks like inside. I include a card with a handwritten personal welcome from the Ward Missionaries. I've flipped it over in the photo above so that the convert's name isn't showing, but you get the idea! I make the cards, but I'm crafty and have time to do that, a store-bought card would be just as nice! I think a handwritten note is important so it seems personal, since most of the packet is just print-outs. Another sticker-label, this one I put inside - I also added a punched-out heart for a more personal look."Upcoming Activites" (NEW!): This is something that we've added because its always good to make sure that new members have a good amount of information about activities (so they'll be more likely to attend!). I make sure to include extra information that sometimes isn't included in advertising posters or announcements (like who specifically is invited, whether it is casual or Sunday dress, etc). We've also included a section called "What does it cost?" because I've had several newer members ask me about the cost of attending Ward dinners, etc. lately. I realized that we long-time members just assume that everyone knows that there isn't a charge, but if you're coming from a church where they use activities as fundraisers, thats a big change! (Nobody wants to bring their family to a Spaghetti Feed and be surprised to find out that they're charging $10 a plate!). I explain a little about how each Ward & auxillary has an annual budget and that is where the funding for activities comes from. I also explain that there may be rare instances where there is an optional cost (such as craft classes with a cost for supplies at a Super-Saturday type activity), but that an optional cost like that is always advertised ahead of time. (Text of the "What will it cost" section will be included in the "Welcome Packet" section at right) "Tips for Feeling At Home in Any Ward" (see text posted in the "Welcome Packet" section at right) "LDS Lingo- A Glossary of Terms Frequently Used by Church Members" (text will be posted in the "Welcome Packet" section at the right) "New Member Discussions/Home and Visiting Teaching" (NEW!): This was created in response to some misunderstandings that some of our recent converts have had during the past year- #1- We normally like to start the New Member Discussions fairly soon after baptism, but we had one family tell us that they didn't "need" the NMDs because they were still being visited by the Elders occaisionally, and if they had any questions they would ask their member friend. I was shocked that they felt that the New Member Discussions were optional. I made sure that we personally visited them and all of the other new members ASAP after that, and let them know that the NMDs were part of their learning experience as new converts and that the Bishop wanted to make sure that they received all of the NMDs during the first year as part of their preparation to prepare to attend the temple. That cleared up the misunderstanding nicely, but now I know that it is something that we need to mention to all new members. In addition to having a Ward missionary personally contact the new member and explain the NMDs to them, I also explain in this sheet what Ward Missionaries are, what the NMDs are, and that one of us will be contacting them to schedule NMDs once a month or so (beginning after their baptism), so that it (hopefully!) won't come as a surprise! #2- We had one new convert very confused about the difference between being a Ward Missionary and being a Visiting/Home Teacher. I had already explained it to her, but I think the terms we use are easily confused (I've heard many new converts refer to either Home Teachers or Visiting Teachers as "Home-Visiting Teachers" as if they were the same program) . This was probably made worse by the fact that I showed up for her first NMD with her Visiting Teachers. Not long after that, she was asked to be a Visiting Teacher herself and she paniced, mistakingly thinking that she would have to teach NMD's. I figured that it couldn't hurt to include a written explanation of what exactly Visiting Teaching and Home Teaching are, who will be contacting them for visits (a set of Home Teachers for each family and a set of Visiting Teachers for each adult woman), what those visits will be like, etc. (Text of this New Member Discussion/Home & Visiting Teaching document will be included in the "Welcome Packet" section at right) Some of the handouts/pamphlets/documents that I include (all ordered free of charge from Church Distribution): Church magazine subscription info, Family Guidebook, Pure Religion (info about humanitarian aid), Family Proclamation, The Living Christ, Relief Society Declaration, etc... NOT SHOWN: Current Ward directory (printed from the Ward Website) with attached instructions for registering for the Ward Website (text for instructions will be included in the "Welcome Packet" section at right) NOT SHOWN: List of frequently used phone numbers (Ward and Stake leaders, the Temple, Deseret Industries, etc) and websites (www.lds.org, providentliving.org, familysearch.org) NOT SHOWN: A copy of our most recent "New Member Newsletter" (there will be a separate post about our New Member Newsletter, coming soon!). I make sure that everybody gets a copy of the most recent newsletter as soon as there is a baptism date set, but I figure it doesn't hurt to include an extra copy... ALSO NOT SHOWN: For families with young children, I try to include something fun, like coloring pages that I've printed out from the Primary section of the Church website and Articles of Faith cards with a picture of Jesus (these cards are available to purchase at a small cost from Church Distribution). So, overall, the cost to us as Ward Missionaries is minimal - the folder, the cost of the ink/paper used in printing the documents, the cost of the labels, a card, etc. Decorations like stickers, etc are optional, of course. I think the opportunity to visit each new convert and provide them with information that they can read through in their free time is very valuable! For more information on our "Welcome to the Ward" Packets for new converts and what is included, see the topic section labeled "WELCOME PACKET" on the right side of this page, above the picture of people shaking hands.

Now, I'm the first to admit that when it comes to Mormon culture or membership, we haven't worked out all the kinks quite yet. Sure, none of us are perfect and I don't expect a mass translation anytime soon. But you know what? That's part of what I love about this Church.

This Easter Season, I would like to share my Easter Thoughts and some of the reasons why I choose to follow Jesus Christ.

We LOVE General Conference and look forward to listening every 6 months. If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints you know what I am talking about. This is a time when we have the opportunity to listen to our prophet, the 12 apostles and other general authorities in a worldwide conference. General Conference is Saturday March 31st and Sunday April 1st, with two sessions each day, one starting at 10 A.M. and the other at 2 P.M. Everyone is welcome to watch here. We usually watch general conference at home over the internet. It can be a long 2 hours for our 3 year old so I put together a little activity to help keep him involved and wanting to watch. My hope is to help him identify the prophet and the 12 apostles. We usually hear from all 12 apostles except for 2 that usually speak during the priesthood session (Saturday night) so we will have 2 activities left over that we can do sometime between conference sessions. Here is the activity I put together: It's pretty simple, just a basket of different kinds of treats and activities that he can do while listening to conference. I put a picture on each activity so he can watch to see who speaks and then find the activity/treat with their picture on it. I put together 15 activities one for our prophet, his two councilors and the 12 apostles. You can't see a lot of the things that I put in the basket because I wanted the focus to be on the prophet/apostles not on the activity. Here is a list of what I put in the basket: Connect 4 game Crayons and Coloring Book brownie mix...to make during the session Snickers candy bar animal crackers goldfish Magnetic doodle board M&M's Chalk for our chalk board Apple Magnet Noah's ark tin Beads/necklace Fruit snacks Quiet book Stickers I used pictures from a quiet book I made awhile ago. Heather put it together over at simply fresh designs. You can get the templates for your personal use by visiting her site. I love it because each page has a photo of the prophet along with facts about them. I used these pages instead of pictures so we can learn about each one as part of the activity. Enjoy General Conference and have a wonderful weekend!

Today we have a convert baptism of a child (8 years old), so I adapted our usual "Welcome to the Ward" packet to be a little more kid-appropriate. The usual handouts and information are included (see the "Welcome Packet" section for more info), but I made a few changes/additions: More coloring/activity pages (found here) "My Gospel Standards" print-out (found on the Idea Door website, here) Sacrament prayer card* "My Baptism Covenants" print-out (found on the Idea Door website, here) Several age-appropriate "Mormonad" poster cards Picture of Christ with children*I printed out the Sacrament prayers (printable version found at the Idea Door, here), and glued them onto colorful paper. Then I glued the two prayers back to back, to make a sort of two-sided bookmark. I also attached a little paper piece of bread and a water cup that I made out of scraps of scrapbooking paper to make it easier to tell which side is which. You can see the one I made on the left side of the picture of the inside of the folder (shown above).

When I was shopping for wedding dresses, I kept hitting a snag: everything flattering showed way too much skin. Outside of the fact that I wouldn’t have been comfortable wearing a halter top in front of both of our families, I also had to work within the modesty constraints of the religious service. And so, despite not being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints myself, I found myself googling “Mormon bridal shop” in an attempt to find an affordable, flattering, and modest gown to wear on the big day.

If there is one thing our prophet wanted to know during his birthday celebration broadcast around the world on September 6, it was that "Jesus the Christ is literally my Savior, my Redeemer, my Exemplar, and Friend." He shared that message again on Facebook following the celebration, adding, "Every day of my life, I thank my Heavenly Father—in the name of Jesus Christ—for the gift of life and the privilege of serving His children."
